About Me

I'm a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist (MA, MBACP), providing professional, non-judgemental support for adults (18+) in Berkshire, Wokingham and the surrounding areas, as well as online from anywhere in the UK. While I specialise in sex and porn addiction and Compulsive Sexual Behaviour Disorder (CSBD), I also offer counselling for a range of emotional and psychological challenges, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress, and relationship difficulties. Whether you're struggling with compulsive sexual behaviours, unwanted habits, or emotional distress, I provide both one-to-one and group therapy in a safe and confidential space.

Understanding Addiction- How I work.
Do you find yourself struggling with compulsive sexual behaviours or pornography use, even when you’ve tried to stop? Maybe you’re questioning whether your behaviour is a problem, or you’ve been confronted by a loved one or even the authorities. If your actions are affecting your relationships, work, or self-esteem, know that you are not
alone.
I offer a structured, compassionate, evidence-based approach to help you explore your behaviours and gain insight, break unhealthy patterns, and move forward with confidence. Addictions can feel overwhelming, but with the right support, freedom is possible.

Step 1: Understanding the Problem
If you're wondering whether your behaviour is a problem, we start by exploring your history. When did this behaviour start? How does it help you cope? What impact is it having on your life? Using a screening tool, we gain a clearer picture of your struggles in an objective and non-judgemental way.

Step 2: Reducing Shame & Understanding Addiction
Many people feel trapped by shame and guilt, which can make it harder to seek help. Together, we explore the neuroscience of addiction—how our brains work, the role of dopamine and neural pathways, and how addictive behaviours form and are maintained. When you understand what’s happening, it becomes easier to break free.

​

Step 3: Recovery Planning & Relapse Prevention
Once we’ve identified triggers, we develop a clear, structured recovery plan. This includes:
Practical strategies to manage cravings and triggers

Relapse prevention techniques to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your behaviours
A focus on long-term recovery, not just short-term solutions
